We ran like lightning
Right beside thunder
Latched on to that railroad car
And I pulled myself inside
Then I reached down for Penny
As she threw me her backpack
Well it's the first time she stepped foot outside this county line
I didn't have a clue where we were going to
Saw the world through the window of a box car
There were wheat fields as far as both our eyes could see
I was leaning on her she was leaning on me
It all started in Reno and Denver Colorado
We made love to the sound of the rain beating in time
To the wheels on the railroad track
Never want to go back
Train keep rolling on
I'm a coming home
Fighting off hunger in Jefferson City
I said Penny close your eyes
Cause we're jumping off this train
Headed straight for the Texaco
Get inside to the store is closed
Yeah we filled two bags full of food
But she was thinking like Jesse James
She grabbed a hand full of cash to go
When we heard that old whistle blow
Saw the world through the window of a box car
There were wheat fields as far as both our eyes could see
I was leaning on her she was leaning on me
It all started in Reno and Denver Colorado
We made love to the sound of the rain beating in time
To the wheels on the railroad track
Never want to go back
Train keep rolling on
Keep rolling on
It all started in Reno and Denver Colorado
We made love to the sound of the rain beating in time
To the wheels on the railroad track
Never want to go back
Never want to go back
Train keep rolling on
I'm a coming home
Keep rolling on
Ran like lightning
Right beside thunder
Latched on to that railroad car
Then I pulled myself inside
